CIVIL ENGINEERING SOFTWARE

CIVIL ENGINEERING SOFTWARE

The software that you should learn basically depends upon the sub field of civil engineering you are working in but there are some software that every civil engineer should know to work on like AUTOCAD and MS EXCEL yes excel is also very useful don't underestimate it apart from that the software's which may be useful are as given below,

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

STAAD PRO, ETABS & SAP2000

STAAD PRO,design any type of structure and share your synchronized model data with confidence among your entire design team using staad Pro ensure on-time and on-budget completion of your steel concrete timber aluminium and cold form steel projects regardless of complexity you can confidently design structures anywhere in the world using over 80 international codes reducing your team's need to learn multiple software applications this latest ETABS offers unmatched 3D object based modeling and visualization tools blazingly fast linear and non-linear analytical power sophisticated and comprehensive design capabilities for a wide range of materials and insightful graphic displays reports and schematic drawings that allow users to quickly and easily decipher and understand analysis and design results from its 3D object based graphical modeling environment to the wide variety of analysis and design options completely integrated across one powerful user interface 

SAP2000 has proven to be the most integrated productive and practical general-purpose structural program on the market today this intuitive interface allows you to create structural models rapidly and intuitively without long learning curve delays.

CAD

AUTOCAD 2D & 3D

AUTOCAD is a commercial software application for 2D & 3D computer-aided design and drafting available since 1982 as a desktop application and since 2010 is a mobile web and cloud-based app marketed as AUTOCAD 360.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

PRIMAVERA, Ms PROJECT

 Primavera is an enterprise project portfolio management software it includes project management product management collaboration and control capabilities and integrates with other enterprise software such as Oracle and SAP ERP systems. Microsoft Project is a project management software program developed and sold by Microsoft that is designed to assist a project manager in developing a plan assigning resources to tasks tracking progress managing the budget and analyzing workloads. 

BIM

RIVET & ARCHI CAD

Autodesk Revit is Building Information modeling software it allows users to design a building and structure and its components in 3D annotate the model with 2D drafting elements and access building information from the building models database reeve it is 4D BIM capable with tools to plan and track various stages in the building's life cycle from concept to construction and later demolition this software is a complete design suite with 2D and 3D drafting visualization and other Building Information modelling functions for architects designers and planners a wide range of software applications are integrated in  ARCHI CAD to cover most of the design needs of an architectural office.

CIVIL ENGINEERING/SURVEYING
